Gary measured a campsite and made a scale drawing. The tent, which is 14 feet long in real life, is 32 inches long in the drawing. What scale did Gary use for the drawing?
To find the scale, we need to determine the ratio of the length of the tent in the drawing to the length of the tent in real life.
Let's assume the scale is 1 inch = x feet.
So, 32 inches in the drawing represent 14 feet in real life.
Therefore, the scale is 32 inches / 14 feet = 2.29 inches per foot.
So, the scale Gary used for the drawing is 1 inch = 2.29 feet or 1:2.29.
